Granada’s La Liga match at home against Athletic Bilbao will be completed on Monday after a supporter died in the stands at Nuevo Los Carmenes stadium.

Sunday’s match was stopped after 17 minutes as paramedics tried to resuscitate a Granada season ticket holder who had a cardiac arrest.

It was abandoned an hour later.

La Liga has announced the game will restart from the 17th minute, with Athletic 1-0 up through Inaki Williams’ strike, at 20:00 GMT.

Fans who had tickets for the initial game will be allowed to attend.

The hosts offered their condolences to the fan’s “family and friends as well as to the entire Granada family”.

Athletic goalkeeper Unai Simon was applauded by Granada supporters for helping to inform officials of the incident in the stands. Players from both sides left the pitch 20 minutes after the match was initially stopped.
